Abstract:
Medicine is ever changing, as is the discipline of surgery. During the last decade, surgery has experienced a technological renaissance driven primarily by the desire to provide patients less invasive surgical treatments with shorter operating times, hospital stays, and recuperative periods. Many traditional open surgical procedures are now being replaced with endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques. As these minimally invasive techniques become sublimated in medical practice, the quest to develop truly noninvasive techniques continues in many medical specialties.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
